Located in Observatory, this out-of-this-world attraction is worth a look. But you'll find plenty more to discover in the area. Table Mountain, Cape Town Stadium, and Two Oceans Aquarium aren't too far from South African Astronomical Observatory.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (164 reviews)

What a place! Everything is fabulous and the staff are exceptional. This was our 6th visit to the Cellars and it won’t be our last. The beautiful gardens together with the stylish interiors make for a luxurious and relaxing stay. The restaurant food is delicious too, what’s not to like?

8.6/10 Excellent! (364 reviews)

Clean and with really friendly staff. 3rd floor room was quiet. Breakfast was tasty. Nothing wrong with the hotel for a family stay for a couple of nights. My only issue was with the pool, the wood around it was old and it was easy to get splinters / there was lots of metal bits screwed into it that you could catch your foot on.
